This phone showed me that specs doesn't always related to the real performances.. Moto X works as fast as other high-end devices, maybe better even with the dual-core. And the active display and the touchless control is what set this phone apart from the others. I'm using it for the third weeks and recently upgraded to android 4.4 and it is better than ever !

I've noticed numerous demo units, and some not very old and with no signs of abuse, suffering from 'AMOLED screen burn-in.'

To observe this:
Open a program allowing a completely solid white or light colored background; look at the areas between the on-screen menu buttons and below the top menu: this area will appear to have a discolored eggshell cast instead of white; the correct white color will be where the menus were. This is happening because the phone constantly lights the center while the menu areas remain black. This discoloration becomes progressively worse over the lifetime of the screen.

I had several Galaxy Note IIs suffer this issue. Note: There is no fix and Pixel Burn-In programs do not remedy this issue!

Anne, 18 Nov 2013Much less user friendly than my old Samsung. No camera zoom (that I could find), no recorder (... moreHey Anne, it's actually really easy to zoom/unzoom while using the camera: you just have to slide your finger upwards/downwards on the screen, you'll have up to 4X zoom... To record video, you can simply touch the video icon while using the camera... If you want to record only sound, well I haven't found a pre-installed recording app but you can always download anything from the play store. Same goes with the calendar, you can download any calendar app from the store and use it instead of the pre-installed one... I really like this phone, it's easy to use and it has a lot of features that my last phone didn't. The only problem I have found is that the Google Now voice command detector has a hard time identifying the first phrase if there is a bit of noise (i.e. Music while in the car)
